Get me out of here.

This garden that I built for you
That you sit in now and yearn
I will never leave it, dear
I could not bear to return
And find it all untended
With the trees all bended low
This garden is our home, dear
And I got nowhere else to go
The geraniums on your window sill
The carnations, dear, and the daffodil
Well, they're ordinary flowers
But they long for the light of your touch
And of your trembling will
Ah, you're trembling still
And I am trembling too
To be perfectly honest I don't know
Quite what else to do

Excerpt from Nick Cave's Bring It On.

It's been a while since my last entry, but I'm not going to apologize.
For the simple reason that the people who actually read this have other ways of contacting me and being kept up to date.

So, what's new these days?

Well, I had to cancel my reservation at the hotel in Keynsham.
My payment for the plane ticket bounced because apparently I was a few euros short.
And now that I'm sure that I have enough money the ticket rates went up and I wouldn't be able to pay for transport to the hotel, or for food for that matter.
So I'm really bummed out right now, been upset with myself all day and it won't change for a while.
I've let down my best friend Chloe for the second time by letting this happen.
Well, I'm pretty sure I have 'cause I haven't heard from her since I told her.
Chloe, if you read this: I really am terribly sorry, and I will make up for it.
Don't know how yet, though.

So I've been free from work since Thursday afternoon, but I considered Friday morning to be a part of a extended weekend. I'm officially on vacation since yesterday morning. Around noon that day I said my parents goodbye as they went on vacation, and they're not to return until Friday.
Since Erik has started work, I'm home alone except for when he's home to eat dinner and sleep. It's lonely, and extremely boring.
Since everyone I know is either working or attending school, I have nothing to do but watch movies and play video games.

Tomorrow though, will be dedicated to listening vinyls and writing.
Well, at least the morning. It'll probably be filled with Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash and Pink Floyd.
In the afternoon, I have my new teaching job to attend to.
Well, it's more of a charity than a teaching job.
The mother of the boy next door called 'round to ask if I could teach him how to skateboard properly.
I said I will, so now he's coming by tomorrow for his first lesson.
Since I feel solely responsible for his health during this time, I'll fill his head with speeches about safety and protective gear first.
Then I'll probably just help him find a stance that works for him, and teach him how to stay balanced. Since he's a bit hyper-active, it could take a while.
With the mood I'm in right now, I'll probably get annoyed with him and scold him, though.
After those two hours, it's time for my microwave lasagna and a cold beer, followed by more writing.

I haven't got anything else figured out for my vacation yet, except for the free music festival on September 10th and 11th.

That's about all I have to say, so I guess I'll quit writing now.

See you on the flip side,

Marth.
